Aggiedad77: I'm thinking about Abadi.....how "under-tall" he is

Then I'm having flashbacks to the Tasmanian Devil....another "under-tall" entity.....who stirs up dust wherever he seems to go

I believe Abadi is stirring dust at this moment....in all that he does....partially out of FEAR....partially out of direction from the US....partially just to prove he....can Hang 'Em High

As the hours unfold with Iraq in our current times....so does the truth of where things are headed

He's now back on home soil.....let's move forward....move it on up

Take it to God in prayer that this man can continue to handle the stress

Aloha Randy

Aggiedad77: Well....well...what a wake up call for a Saturday morning......do you know where your Central Bank governor is and what his name is.....

yet another article....actually two articles that say Allak is not getting the job done and needs to be replaced.....this time it comes from an Iraqi cleric....Sadr....so they finally see that Allak is merely a Maliki puppet.....they want someone who is capable of working in an efficient and impartial manner....

In other words someone who knows what the heck is going on and how to turn things around.....hmmmm....someone of integrity.....who should be above corruption at all levels of enticement.....that sure sounds like Dr. Shabibi to me......

Keep in mind this is yet another "suggestion" to PM Abadi and no action has been forthcoming as yet....but IMO.....just a matter of time.....give Abadi time to get home from Germany and let's watch with interest all that transpires. Aloha Randy
